Since there are 22 letters with similar meanings and similar names, there is
not much difference between transliteration and encoding in practice.
Except legibility.
I don't think the history of writing systems is going to help us here. There

OCR doesn't depend on the character encoding. Like any other OCR,
you need to develop a glyph collection for the OCR to translate to, and
then map that glyph collection to underlying characters, in whatever
character encoding is used.
Elaine, it would be interesting to read Prof. Kaufman's opinion of why
Phoenician should not be regarded as a distinct script (family). Can he be
persuaded to publish his reasoning for UTC to consider?
However despite the discussion of current techniques and preferences among
scholars, the ONLY

For Unicode, implementation of Phoenician as a font switch for Hebrew as an
alternative proposal fails at the first hurdle if, as is claimed by some
here, modern Hebrew readers do not regard Phoenician fonts as valid Hebrew

Towheed Chowdhury asks about Bangla, Unicode, and OCR.
Others have already answered about Unicode. If you're interested in
working with OCR Bangla, you might want to contact somebody already
working on it:

Since you are the one trying to draw an analogy between Phoenician

Otherwise the analogy is pointless.

Take it up with the RA-JAC, Doug. And don't do it until after the
June meetings. There is real work to do before then, and a lot of it.

I absolutely DO disagree with the premise that lots of people would use
a separate Fraktur encoding.
I would use it when transcribing works that mix Fraktur and
Latin constantly, or when there's only a quote or a couple letters in Fraktur.
Sure a lot of people would transcribe their texts
Somebody (Probably Omi Azad) informed me that Microsoft is developing OCR for
Bangla. I have doubt in it, as MS is busy in many other things and Bangla
market is not so critical to them.On the other hand they have not developed
any OCR for any language-why they will do it for Bangla?

Thanks Mr Jabbar for your message.
Actually I am the person working on OCR for BRAC. I have already started
studying and the development will be beginning soon.
